Bathing sick Persons.

A sick person should be bathed every
day, unless for some special reason the
coo or for bids it. The skin cannot proper
ly perform its function of carrying oil
the waste matter from the body unless its
pores are kept open. In fever, sponging
with cold water Is one of the recognized
means OF lowering the temperature. IL is.
there fore, important TO know how to give
a bath 10 person In bed as easily. speedily,
and ttftcusIly as possible. Before begin,
ming, everything that will be required
should he collected at the side OF the bed.
Two blankets are needed, two oEels, a
basin of water (if the bath is to be a warm
one pitcher OF hot water to replelish the
basiD) and a sDonee. If the bath is given
every day, soap is unnecessary; when it is
used Cloth should be substituted for the
sponge, as soap spoils the lat or. Ii the
night dress and sheet are to be changed,
the fresh ones should be put to air, and
warm at the fire. This precsution should
never be neglected, as damp linen might
give fatal chill.
Double the blankets end to end, move
the patient 10 one side of the bed,
push the bed-clothes toward him, keeping
him Covered and, on the cleared space,
lay the folded blanket draw the bed-c0v-
eTipgs over 1T. and under their shelter move
the patient on it. Lay the second f3lded
blanket over the spread, and draw all the
bed-clothes from beneath it. leaving the
patient covered with it alone. Remove
the night dress, squeeze the sponge so that
it will not drip, and battle the face, neck
and ears, wipiDg them carefully af5erward
Psss the hand holding the sponge
under the blanket and wash the
arms, drying each as soon as done;
then battle the body, and wipe it dry turn
the patient on the side, and battle the
back, then the legs to the knees; turn
again on the back and finish the legs ana
feet. The points to be remembered are
not to expose the patient TO cold by letting
the blanket slip aside, not to wet too large
a surface at once, and to wipe thoroughly
dry. Replace the night dress and bed
clothes, draw out the upper blanket, move
the patient off the lower blanket TO dry.

PENNSYLVANIA NEW LAW,
II Threatens to Drive Many of the Liquor
Dealers Out of Business.

IL Threatens to Drive Many of the Liquor
Dealers Out of Business.
PHILADELPHIA, December 1.-THE new
high license law passed by the last Legis-
la ure promises to drive out of the liquor
business not only those who cannot afford
to pay the $500 license fee, but also many
wealthy dealers who will find it impos
sible to secure the necessary bondsmen to
become responsible for their faithful COM
pliance with the law.
Up to the close of business Saturday,
only $50 applications for licenses for aext
year had been filed with the clerk of the
Court of Quarter Sessions. This is c0nsid-
cred a small number, in view of the TACT
that there are about 600 saloons in the
city. The dealers are experiencing no end
of trouble in obtaining two bondsmen who
are willing to take upon themselves the
responsibility attached 10 those who be-
come suretes for tavern keepers. Sdch
bondsmen will each become responsible IN
the sum of $1,000 for the payment of all
fines, penalties or damages that may be
levied upon the dealer for any violation oil
the laws covering the sale OF liquor. In
attaching their names to the bond the
sureties also give power OF attorney to
the District Attorney to a confess Judgment
in the sum named for the recovery of all
damages, costs, fines and penalties
The proprietors OF saloons IN the heart
OF the city, those in the Fifth, Sixth,
Eighth and Ninth Wards, will suffer to
greater extent than those in any other sec.
ton of the city for want of bondsmen.
AS the law has been interpreted at pres
emit, the bondsmen must live in the ward
where the saloon is located. In the Fifth
Ward there are 800 saloons, and in the
Sixth Ward go saloons. IL all these places
should be relicensed, there would be LBS
different bondsmen, and 1t is well known
fact that there are not enough resident
property owners in those wards TO make up
this number, especially among those VINO
would go upon the bonds. Nearly all the
property in these wards is OF valuable
character, and the owners of the same re-
side outside the ward.
In Schuylkill County, Saturday was the
last day upon which liquor license applica-
tons could be legally filed, and the clerk
of the court was kept at his post until a
late hour. About ESQ applications were
made, which is 800 less than last year.

A Pot of Gold

CoRYDoN, December 10-A young man
of this place, who Is teaching school in
Meade county, KY, reports that three men
recently crossed the Ohio river from Reno,
Ind, 10 point in Meade county, Ky,
where they began digging in the grooDd
near an old unoccupied cabin. Ia q few
minutes they unearthed vessel contain
ing 81, 500 in gold, which they counted in
the presence of spectators. They then re-
crossed the river and refused to say any
thiDg regarding their knowledge of the
hidden treasure. One of the parties is said
TO be man named Prsther, who at one
time lived at Reno, Ind. In 1859, ktnCe
Prather, his brother, was robbed of 81 00n,
and il was never known who committt
the robbery. 1t is now supposed thai his
brother got the money and buried is,
where IT remained from that time until Il
was unearthed the other day. The money
was buried Just twelve feet from the cor
ner of the cabin, and there were twelve
spikes driven in the house pointing to the
place. The supposltion is that Prather did
not desire TO return for the money until
the death of his brother, which occurred
